What is Ear Surgery?
Prominent ears can be surgically re-positioned closer to the head with ear surgery or what is commonly referred to as “ear pinning.” Frequently, this procedure is performed on children if they are becoming self-conscious about the size or position of their ears. It is important to consider the child’s feelings about their ear size.
Who The Best Candidate for Ear Pinning?
Traditionally, this surgery is done when the child is six to seven years of age. However, more recently, this timetable has been moved up to age four to avoid issues with peers as the child enters school age.
In recent years, an increased number of adults have now elected to have this surgery. The goal is to achieve a more balanced and natural look. However, complete and perfect symmetry is not possible as there are inherent differences within each individual’s ear tissues. The majority of patients are pleased with the results and the improved appearance.
Complications are rare but must be thoroughly discussed and considered before you decide to have surgery.
